Abstract
Chromogranin B (CHGB) is a key member of the granin family of acidic proteins, predominantly localized in the secretory granules of professional secretory cells, such as neurons and neuroendocrine cells. It plays a crucial role in the regulated secretory pathway, influencing hormone storage, processing, and release. CHGB's role extends from cellular processes to systemic physiology, encompassing vesicular trafficking, calcium homeostasis, and immune regulation. CHGB dysfunction is linked to pathological conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disorders, and metabolic disorders. This review examines the multifaceted functions of CHGB at both the cellular and organismal levels, highlighting its role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and its potential link to metabolic dysfunction and related pathophysiology.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Neuropeptides is the rapid publication of original research and review articles, dealing with the structure, distribution, actions and functions of peptides in the central and peripheral nervous systems. The explosion of research activity in this field has led to the identification of numerous naturally occurring endogenous peptides which act as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, or trophic factors, to mediate nervous system functions. Increasing numbers of non-peptide ligands of neuropeptide receptors have been developed, which act as agonists or antagonists in peptidergic systems.
The journal provides a unique opportunity of integrating the many disciplines involved in all neuropeptide research. The journal publishes articles on all aspects of the neuropeptide field, with particular emphasis on gene regulation of peptide expression, peptide receptor subtypes, transgenic and knockout mice with mutations in genes for neuropeptides and peptide receptors, neuroanatomy, physiology, behaviour, neurotrophic factors, preclinical drug evaluation, clinical studies, and clinical trials.
